American Airlines appears to be blocking non stop saver award flights within 144 hours of departure. Additionally it seems like American Airlines is effectively charging a fee as flights get closer to departure. For example JFK ->LAX J (as noted by MinimumPerspective95):
- 51,000 miles for next five days
- 46,500 miles for next five days
- 42,000 miles for the next five days
- 40,000 mile floor after that
Not a huge surprise as usually the cash price increases as flights become nearer. Still very frustrating, especially for those that stocked up on Alaska miles for these types of flights.
